“Awesome Day”

Reviewed February 3, 2017

We had an awesome time yesterday on Magic Moments IV. We had booked the smaller 45' Sea Ray, but when checked in we were upgraded to the 53' Sun Seeker. The Sea Ray was out for routine maintenance. The Captain and crew were terrific and made our day a wonderful experience attending to our every need. Our friends had never been out on a day charter and this was a special treat. While expensive this was well worth it. Great snorkeling off St. John and Norman Island. Breakfast and lunch were delicious. We are already talking about doing this again next year. We will most likely stay in the USVI as the $45 per person fee for customs in the BVI and the wasted time is not worth it. Sure a trip to Soggy Dollar on Jost is something everyone talks about but it can be crowded. Between the time it takes to get there and the wait for a painkiller it just doesn't add enough to the day to be worthwhile. We highly recommend Magic Moments and while we are sure other captains and first mates are all wonderful, our Captain and were terrific.

“Money well spent for private sailing day!”

Reviewed January 30, 2017

We sailed last week with the Captain and - they were great and made our day so very special. We booked it for just two of us because we didn't want to sail with strangers and it was a perfect day! They showed us all the different islands and loved the Soggy Dollar Bar - you swim there and it's so much fun. We loved the Pizza Pi boat to end the day and they were so accommodating for our special day on the water. Thank you for having such great employees and they are to be commended for making it truly a "magic moment" from start to finish. Thank you! We will be back!

"Best part of our trip"

Reviewed December 19, 2016

My wife, Mother-in-law, Son (1 year old) and I just got back from staying at the Ritz Carlton in St. Thomas. The trip was great. Our day with Magic Moments made it one of the best trips we have ever been on. We were picked up right on the beach at the hotel. I was a touch apprehensive about doing something like this with our one year old in tow, but the Captain and the crew immediately made us feel at ease about our decision. They customized a trip that included everything we wanted to do. Snorkeling, Swimming, Island hopping, Bar hopping, sight seeing just to name a few. They even offered to look after the little one if all 3 of us wanted to snorkel together. They were such a great crew that one of us was always willing to hang on the boat with them and the baby while the others hit the water. The breakfast and lunch that was provided on board was amazing and the cocktails and champagne flowed freely. Our Captain took us to some of the most beautiful and less known areas down there. I am a firm believer of focusing on value over price with anything I do. Believe me, that booking through Magic Moments will be something you will remember for the rest of your life. We can't wait come back next year!

"Fantastic full day in the VI."

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our day on Magic Moments III. Our Captain and first mate were informative and fun. I am not a snorkler but my husband is, so they were able to plan a day that gave us both something different to enjoy. We were able to visit parts of the BVI that we would never have seen or known about. The breakfast and lunch were excellent and Lori kept us well hydrated! We look forward to taking another excursion with Magic Moments in the future and would be very happy if the Captain and first mate were available to be our hosts.

"Amazing Day in the Virgin Islands!"

Reviewed January 14, 2017

We have used Magic Moments now for four excursions around the Virgin Islands and they are the highlight of our trip each and every time! They treat you like royalty and make you feel like you are right at home, albeit in the middle of the ocean! This time we had the pleasure of boating with the captain and the first mate. They were amazing and made our day enjoyable and filled with memories that we will never forget. We came to find out that we actually had our captain on our first excursion with Magic Moments, and yet again he amazed. His tour through the Baths at Virgin Gorda was unforgettable and something that we would recommend to all. Although weather did deter us from some of our favorite activities, the crew were right there ready with ample substitutes and even gave us another island to check off our bucket list. They told stories of the islands and were extremely knowledgeable. Without a doubt would highly recommend and are already planning our next trip with Magic Moments! Thank you for everything Magic Moments, we cannot wait for our next trip! The Kudlac Family

"Fun Day in the VI"

Reviewed January 3, 2017

As advertised. We had a great day. 7 of us, 5 being teens or young adults. Everyone enjoyed the day and all said it the best day we spent in the VI. Both Captain and Mate were very gracious and accommodating. They handled the details and we just enjoyed the day. We did the standard itinerary and did not deviate much. Each stop was a lot of fun and they did all they could to make it a really pleasurable experience. Food was good, snorkeling was ok, parking at the beach on JVD and just jumping in was a blast. Overall would certainly recommend them for anyone wanting a private day on the water. One note, bring cash for customs and then bring extra for gratuity. We failed to think of both and had to make a quick run to the ATM.

I was so happy with our entire day. The captain and his first mate made sure our trip was fun, relaxing and carefree. They covered everything from a gourmet breakfast and lunch, streaming music, and as much information about the islands as we wanted. Our glasses never got empty and we finished the day wishing we had more time. It was the highlight of our trip to caneel bay, and if we go back, we would do the same charter again!

“Blew Our Expectations Out of the Water!”

Reviewed December 11, 2016

We were lucky enough to go out on the Magic Moments yacht. Right from the very beginning, they Captain and crew mate were so positive and accommodating. Captain was up front and honest about the amount of time it would take for us to do the different ideas we had, and gave us plenty of options for adventuring, although he ultimately left it up to us to decide.

From asking us what we all wanted to do, to refilling our drinks nonstop, these two were fantastic. It might sound easy, but with a group of 9 people and 7 of us in our twenties, there were a LOT of drinks to fill. Never once did they make us feel like we were inconveniencing them or asking too much. We had an amazing lunch, and were able to stay as long as we wanted at the locations to really experience them.

Besides being knowledgable about the area, the islands, customs processes, and the boat, they were friendly and conversational. It truly felt like her were just out with friends for the day. Anyone would feel lucky to spend the day with this team, who were professional and hospitable the entire time we were in their presence.

“Perfect in Every Way!"

Reviewed August 6, 2016

I booked a trip for 6 of us on Magic Moments in late May. We were 3 couples, and I was entertaining important business colleagues so I had to make sure the day was done right. We were staying at the Ritz, and Magic Moments picked us up right on the beach which made it very easy.

The boat arrived on time and our Captain came ashore to gather us. We hopped on the boat and our First Mate was there to greet us. The boat is spectacular. Our Captain talked to us about our itinerary and we explained we were going to JVD later in the week so we wanted to try something else. He picked some glorious snorkeling spots for us off STJ, where we saw a spotted eagle ray and gorgeous fish and coral. Their snorkel equipment was in great condition. Then we checked in to the BVI (First Mate handled everything and showed her mad skills when we couldn't get the boat up to the dock due to another boat not following proper protocol) and we went off to Norman Island to explore the caves. The breakfast was delicious with fruit and pastries to die for.

Along the way, our Captain pointed out the different islands and gave us a great tour. For lunch, we stopped at a secluded cove and went for a swim while our First Mate prepared the most amazing lunch - lobster salad, yum! I told them ahead of time it was my husband's birthday (good man, entertaining my business associates on his bday) and asked if they could get a cake - carrot cake, to be specific. And they delivered!!! No request to big or too small for this crew. I was so appreciative.

Afterwards, we drove by Willy T's just to see what the hype was all about and we made our journey back to STJ for customs. Before doing so, our Captain and Mate told us about Pizza Pi which is an awesome business with amazing pizza, made on a boat. So, after customs, they called in our order and off we went for our pizza delivery. It was a perfect way to cap off an incredible day.

The music selection was a little dull but we were able to plug in our iPhone and play our own music. Even our Captain and Mate agreed it was a great playlist. As the drinks were consumed, and the music played, we all felt every worry, tension or care we had slip away.

After our trip, one of my colleagues told me it was "the best day of her entire life." I have to agree, it was hard to beat. My husband had a great birthday celebration, too. Great service, beautiful boat in a gorgeous setting. It isn't cheap, but it is a high end experience and worth every penny.

I'm returning to the islands in December with my family and will definitely book again!

In reading all the other 5 Star reviews, I have to wholeheartedly agree with all the positives, and really have nothing much to add. The food was excellent, the crew phenomenal, the boat exceptional, the service welcoming, the day unforgettable. My wife surprised me for an early Father's Day gift with this private charter. Our family group of six had incredible fun and couldn't ask for anything more. Breakfast, lunch dessert, open bar, excellent mixed drinks, stops for snorkeling, beach access to several spots on Jost Van Dyke and along the north coast of St John filled our day with memorable sights and experiences. The Captain and 1st Mate were second to none. They were professional, patient, courteous, knowledgeable and accommodating. We will insist upon this crew on our next trip, and recommend them, and this company, to our friends. This was the best day of our week long trip to St John, and is a memory that will last forever.

The crew was undeniably professional, our Captain took photos in between stops with our camera - so we had a whole album by the end of the trip! Our Captain and Mate were very laid back and very knowledgeable about both USVI and BVI. We had romantic breakfast and lunch on the boat, we snorkeled in front of Oppenheimer Beach on St John, discovered the 'Nilla Killa' on Jost Van Dyke (home of the Pain Killer (drink).

We took some very nice snorkel trips and had a great breakfast and lunch on the boat. My wife planned the menu ahead with the Magic Moments team (our kids don't love shrimp and lobster) and arranged for chicken fingers which were great. While it is an expensive day, I still believe you get what you pay for and Magic Moments is worth every penny. Some great memories and the ability to get to some of the best snorkeling and water around. Keep up the good work! P.S. Ask to stop at Pizza Pi for a Pie on the way back.

We splurged and chartered the entire boat for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 10 year old twin girls) and thoroughly enjoyed our day! Even though we'd been visiting St. John since our honeymoon in 1992, we had never visited the Baths over on Virgin Gorda (BVI). We requested an itinerary of the Baths and whatever else could be fit in. It takes about 1.5 hours to reach the Baths, but it is a gorgeous ride! Much to see on the way over, and our captain and crew provided informative and sometimes comedic! back-story to several of the islands/rock formations on the way there. The Virgin Gorda marina is gorgeous! We had an amazing breakfast in the marina overlooking the other beautiful yachts and bright blue water. We then headed over via taxi (accompanied by our mate!) to the Baths. We had a couple of hours to explore this amazing place! (Will definitely come back to Virgin Gorda!) When we got back to the boat, we then enjoyed an amazing, light but elegant lunch of lobster salad, chicken salad and shrimp cocktail complete with white wine for us and soft drinks/water for the girls. Because the girls were looking for a calm snorkel, our captain and mate took us to the "Aquarium" - an amazing, crystal clear, calm and beautiful spot between the Indians and the Caves. This was perfect for our family! Beautiful formations, vibrant fish and calm waters. Back on the boat, we enjoyed an amazing dessert of decadent brownies with ice cream and whipped cream - and champagne!!! Headed back to customs in Cruz Bay, which was hilarious with the various boats all jockeying for ideal position to get in and out. Our crew proved their skills in the harbour by getting us in and out of customs in quick time! They delivered us safely and happily back to Caneel Bay!!! A perfect day!

My wife and I had chartered a Sea Ray with Magic Moments five or six years ago during one of our annual St. John vacations. Last month (February 2015), we returned to St. John without our kids but with another couple and hoped that the most memorable of their moments would be on a Sea Ray with this organization. Oh how right we were. The boat itself is great: luxurious and classy with great food and drink, but the day is really made by the Captain and Mate, and the wonders of the BVI revealed to us by them. Both were experienced sailors and extremely knowledgeable about the waters, sea life, and back-stories about the various islands. It seemed that every island one of us mentioned is one to which our Captain had sailed on one or more occasions, and our Mate, who was an amazing swimmer, could even discuss in expert form the skiing in Colorado. More than having an extremely interesting and friendly crew who knew when to engage and when to give us our private time, we were in the most competent of hands, which is critically important when there are those in the group proud of their landlubber status. As for the price, it is not a cheap day, but of all the money spent on vacations, this money was more than well spent.....we bought ourselves the most memorable of magical moments, from the snorkeling spots to the peaceful spot chosen for our lunch to the beautiful and well-presented meals on board. Quite simply, a day out on a Sea Ray with a crew like we had is worth every penny spent. Having now chartered a Sea Ray with Magic Moments twice, with two different Captains and Mates, I would feel quite lucky drawing our current Captain and Mate again as the crew, but know that the organization itself seems to know how to hire and inspire all of its crews to deliver truly memorable magical moments.

We were able to snorkel in 3 different spots and were in touching distance of sea turtles. We also stopped at a new beach bar, Abi, must get the "pomade" drink. The food provided by the boat was great, couldn't have been a better day.

On vacation with our family, we decided we wanted to visit several of the islands, including BVI. On the recommendation of our hotel, we decided on Magic Moments. We booked their new 54' Yacht for the day's excursion for ourselves which allowed us to customize our own trip. The crew did a fantastic job - we were well informed prior to the trip, they picked us up right on time, they were extremely professional, helpful and friendly, and made it an all around wonderful experience. The food and drinks were great. It's THE way to see the islands and worth the splurge.

“Another magnificent day...”

This was our second trip out with the Magic Moments team. Our first was in 2013. Our Captain and 1st Mate treated us to a second wonderful trip around the Virgin Islands. They were attentive to our needs and did a great job suggesting new places to visit. Since we rented all six seats, we were able to customize the trip on the fly. We happened to pick a day when the water was unusually calm making the trip even better than usual.

If you've visited the islands, but haven't been out on the water for recreation, I urge you to do so. I love seeing the islands and water from a boat. It is an entirely different perspective and a wonderful experience. You can't beat cruising the turquoise water, hopping from island to island for snorkeling, dining, shopping and having a drink at one of the variety of beach bars around. It is the highlight of our visits down here.

The food and drink on the boat were excellent. Both our Captain and Mate were incredibly friendly and informative about the islands and the various stopping points along the way. The experience made me want to spend many more days island hopping and patronizing the restaurants and watering holes in the area.

My wife & I had a great time on the boat with Doug & Rob. We saw a lot of the islands,which we definately would not have seen from land,& also got a history lesson in the process. Great food, snorkeling, & just a lot of fun. A " must do" for anyone who wants to get away & enjoy the islands. This trip is a very good value for the money.

We had an amazing day with our Captain and First Mate, they were extremely welcoming and friendly and we had an amazing breakfast before seeing the unforgettable Baths, we then had a gorgeous lunch before heading back with a stop in between to snorkel which was glorious. The boat was amazingly luxurious and it was an amazing day overall.

Our Captain and his first mate made sure I had the most romantic marriage proposal today! After an incredible excursion to Virgin Gorda, they had set up a romantic table full of flowers and chocolates surrounding my engagement ring! Our Captain and Mate were both so accommodating and shared tons of interesting facts about the Islands! Can't wait to see them again!

Excellent trip coupled with excellent crew. Our Captain and First Mate made our day. Knowledgeable and friendly. They made our guest very comfortable. It was a wonderful experience. I'm not really a sea person but I recommend this trip to everyone. if you are looking for a relaxing day this is the way to go. Make sure you bring your camera and swimsuit along. Not many times you meet people that enjoy what they do as much as these guys. Our safety was their priority. GREAT JOB GUYS. hope to see you soon

This 45 foot Luxury Motor Yacht day trip made our vacation to St. Thomas so much more exciting and memorable.The itinerary was perfect and lasted from 9am ( they wanted us at 8am but we asked for 9am) and lasted till 5pm so a full 8 hours!! Our Captain and 1st mate were two very skilled, caring, humorous, and nice people. The watch words in order was Safety, Comfort, Fun. And there was plenty of all and the food and beverage service was awesome.we boated to many beautify islands, snorkeled on the best reefs we've ever seen, into caves, and swam onto Sand Cay a beautiful beach. We went to the BVI as well. It was such a day of constant beauty above and below the water. The trip seemed expensive, but by the end of the day you feel it was worth every dollar. A life time experience. Thank you to our Captain and Mate for an incredible journey . Best regards!
